(#1) One Word: Prince
Not only did The Purple One give the world "Batdance," but he also wrote an entire album based on the film. Not only that, but Batman fans would be happy to know that in the liner notes of the album, Prince attributes each song to a character from the film. Not only did Nolan's films lack synergistic soundtrack albums, but the pure power of Prince here, in top form, cannot be matched. -
(#5) Chicks Dig the Car
Perhaps one of the most memorable onscreen vehicles of all time: Anton Furst's Batmobile. Never before or since have audiences got a car that as sleek and impossibly cool as this version of the car. Other versions were either garish or too militarized to be this cool. The Tumbler would obviously be more fun to drive, but its design lacks a striking silhouette and battiness of this vehicle.

(#13) Bob Kane's Involvment
Regardless of the amount Bob Kane contributed to the character, he was kind of like the Stan Lee of Batman. In fact, he even drew that picture of Batman at the beginning of the flick. Kane's absence from the later installments of the franchise severed some of that feeling of connection to the Golden Age of comics. -
(#11) Batplane
Sure, the Bat from Dark Knight Rises is cool, but when compared to the Batplane from Batman, there is a clear winner. Once again, the design is simply more striking. Also, that scene where Batman flies it above the clouds and hangs over the moon for just one perfect moment? Soooooo good. -
(#12) Goons, Goons, Goons
Yes, there was that awesome heist at the beginning of The Dark Knight, but those goons can't hold a candle to the thugs of Batman. There was sword guy, big bald guy, karate sunglasses guy, and Bob! Oh, Bob, you may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten.

(#10) It Led to Batman: The Animated Series
After the massive success of 1989's Batman and leading into Batman Returns, Warner Bros. wanted a Saturday morning cartoon that fit into the world established by the movies. Enter the now legendary Batman: The Animated Series. The show deserves a list of it's own for all its contributions to the Batman lore but odds are that if you are reading this list, the show's merits require no repetition.
